As noted in the state-owned company's statement, the price cited represents the cost of gas at the source, excluding transportation costs and other logistical expenses required to deliver it to the Moldovan border. The price of natural gas to be delivered in November is calculated based on the average daily values of the TTF Front Month benchmark index—used in indexed-price purchase and sale agreements—for the previous month. According to the specialized agency Argus, as of October 30, the benchmark index stood at 86.681 euros/MWh. Added to this amount is a margin of approximately 0.59 euros/MWh charged by external suppliers selected as winners in competitive procurement procedures organized by the state-owned company Energocom. Thus, the estimated purchase price for contracted volumes in November is approximately 87.271 euros/MWh. This price does not include the logistics costs required to deliver natural gas to the Moldovan border (transportation, capacity booking, and other related services). Energocom notes that it also uses forward contracts, through which natural gas volumes are agreed upon in advance for consumption periods. Their price is subsequently determined in accordance with formulas set forth in the contracts, depending on the dynamics of market indices. Through these mechanisms and competitive procurement procedures, the company seeks to secure the most favorable commercial terms while ensuring uninterrupted natural gas supplies to consumers in Moldova. // 04.11.2026 — InfoMarket
